【摘要】 早期驻外使领是近代中国较早走向世界的一批官僚士大夫,也是晚清法律改革的启蒙者。在晚清法律变革的酝酿和准备阶段,他们在反对领事裁判权的基础上提出“中西合律”的改革思路,并大力介绍、引进西方法律文化,果敢提出多种改革建议,为晚清法律变革奔波不息。本文试图探讨早期驻外使领的法律思想及实践,并对其做出初步评判。 文章首先简单介绍早期驻外使领这一群体的形成过程,并指明他们是晚清法律改革的启蒙者。继而详细论述早期驻外使领的法律思想及实践,这是本文的重点。早期驻外使领的法律思想主要包含两方面内容:一是主张废除领事裁判权;再是提出“中西合律”的改革思路,即通过引进西方法律来实现对传统法律的改造。这些富有启蒙意义的思想,使他们成为晚清法律改革的启蒙者。他们在出使期间,热衷介绍、引进西方监狱制度、警察制度、律师制和陪审制度,积极倡导以法治国的法律观念,同时还针对形势的变化,建议清政府删除旧法,增订新法,这对清末法制改革有着很大的启发意义。最后着重分析早期驻外使领的法律思想及实践的积极意义,同时指出其不足,并再次明确早期驻外使领在晚清法律变革中的贡献和作用。
